Steve Bruce remains interested in West Brom striker Shane Long - but could be frustrated in his bid for Egyptian Rami Rabia.

Bruce failed to land Long in a last-minute move on transfer deadline and is still keen to sign the Republic of Ireland forward, despite seeing his Tigers hit Fulham for six on Saturday.

The Hull boss feels he needs to strengthen his strike-force to boost their survival chances in their first season back in the Premier League, and will try again for Long - who has been linked with Tottenham - with a £6.5million bid.

Bruce would also like to sign Rabia on loan for the rest of the season, but the midfielder’s club, Al Ahly of Cairo, want straight cash deals.
